Rep. Gallego: We Can’s Agree on DACA Because Trump ‘Is a Bad President’

‘He doesn’t have the administration around him’

EXCERPT:

GALLEGO: "You know, there’s a bipartisan group of Democrats and Republicans that went to the President just a couple months ago and said, 'Here’s the deal, in exchange for DACA, we’ll change our immigration law. We’ll actually put a big down payment and start building your border wall.' He didn’t take the deal. So the reason why this is not happening is not because of the Democrats in the House or the Senate or even the Republicans in the House or the Senate. It’s because the President is a bad president. He does not know how to deal. He doesn’t have the administration around him, the administrators around him to actually know how to accept a good compromise. And now he realizes that he’s not going to be able to fulfill his campaign promises before the election. So he’s going to do all these theatrics and part of those theatrics is using our troops, our manpower, and sending them to the border when in reality it’s not needed.”
